PUBLIC OPINION.
What the Leading Home Journals Say.
The rebelliousness of young ladies has happily ceased to be a favourite subject of dramatists. Good plays aprang from it and had their vogue in days when parents were atili relatively Roman, but the plays which spring from it now are seldom good because they are gen- erally Initative of the old and with- out origin in contemporary circum- stance.

Attired in white uniforms and steel helmets, and accompanied by brilliantly garbed drum majors, they presented a very handsome spectacle sa they assembled to embark on the Canadian Pacific steamship Montroyal for Antwerp.
This corps is a part of what was considered the most stupendous trans-Atlantic pence-time morement in history since the first sailings of the Canadian Pacific seamers for this purpose began August 20. The Legionnaires were welcomed for the convention September 19-24, by Premier Poincare, President of the Republic, and many. prominent poll- tical and military leaders in France. Among outstanding Americana to all were General John Pershing, who accompanied the American Ex- peditionary Force to France, and U.S. Ambasander Myron T. Herrick.

The stranger who was about thirty years old turned out to be a. bullet-headed close cropped Japan- ese dressed in a bedraggled grey pair of trousers and a baju which I recognised as one of Amat's. He was full of bows and politeness and the master of perfect English which he spoke with a peculiar sibilant cockney accent. Amat in introducing him told me that he had arrived the previous night and that was

Mr. Citrine,
If I were asked who it is that has had the courage to suggest the break with the Rusalans, and to in- geminate the peace policy in the General Council of the T.U.C., I should put Mr. W. M. Citrine first. Mr. Citrine is a young man still, should say, on the right side of forty. He is the secretary of the Congress, and there has been a notable change, gradual, but de finite, since he took office. He has not been content to let things drift, but has taken hold, and, as his power has grown, he has guid- ed them. All the week, when it' has been necessary to stand up and fight the Communists, and fight them hard, it is 'Mr. Citrine, who has been entrusted with the task. It may be that the Council, like other Councils, has given the secre tary the nasty jobs, but Mr. Citrine has seized his chance, he has made- good, and he is, to-day much stronger in the trade union move- ment than he has ever been, He has not too much admiration for mere talkers, who are the bane of the movement, and have seized it for political purposes. Mr. Citrinė will develop into the strong man of the trade union movement if he es chews the temptation to become a politician.The Morning Post Labour Correspondent.
